Your eSpeakers Calendar has all the information about each of your engagements, including your travel plans. You can manually type in air, ground, and hotel information. But there’s an easier way to do it: aggregate your travel plans using Award Wallet, and then attach those plans to the correct event in the eSpeakers Calendar. This pathway gives you full travel plans attached to the engagement, without ever having to hand-enter them.

Attach AwardWallet travel to engagements in your eSpeakers Calendar #
NOTE: Travel plans are copied to your event. If you update the plans in AwardWallet, you will need to repeat this process to replace the older plans on the event.
NOTE: The dropdown list will check AwardWallet for plans that are within the date range from 2 days before the start date of the current event through 2 days after the end date of the event.
- In the eSpeakers calendar, select an event and click the TRAVEL tab.
- Click the dropdown labeled COPY FROM AWARD WALLET. If AwardWallet has any travel plans that are near the date of your event (check the Stage Time), they will be displayed in the dropdown. Just select one to copy it to your event.
